In everyday life we are often faced with the need to monitor the contents of some kind of container e.g. the contents of a medicine cabinet or a tool box. In this paper we show that this entire class of scenarios has similar features and properties. To remove the annoyance associated by the user with this monitoring task we propose a smart box concept. In this concept the monitoring is facilita...

The most important characteristic of RFID-based electronic voting system compared to traditional voting system is that votes in the electronic system are as contactless smart cards in place of paper ballots. For casting ballots, voters use a computer terminal to write their choices (their chosen candidates) into contactless smart cards and then put the smart card inside the box. The most import...

The cognitive content of the paper discuss about the Radio frequency identification (RFID) which is a generic term that is used to delineate a system that transmits the identity (in the form of a unique serial number) of an object or person wirelessly, using radio waves. Lineaments of RFID Tags are hashed out and various vantages are discussed. RFID is an extremely efficient method of identific...

Smart cards are small, portable, tamper-resistant computers used in securitysensitive applications ranging from identi_cation and access control to payment systems. Side-channel attacks, which use clues from timing, power consumption, or even electromagnetic (EM) signals, can compromise the security of these devices and have been an active research area since 1996. Newer contactless” cards comm...

Today, one existing class of RFID systems are based on ISO 14443 (Proximity Coupling). This is the standard for RF-interfaces of contactless smart card systems. Contactless RF interfaces of smart cards are very often regarded as less secure than contact based smart cards. This tenor may be changed based on our new approach. Therefore we suggest to establish secure password authenticated wireles...

Introduction In the past years a significant change for computer networks occurred: the rise of direct device-to-device or machine-to-machine communication within general computer networks. The most visible and publicly discussed example is the use of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags for improved supply chain management [1,2]. Several large retail chains as well as the US Department o...
